Making friends on the internet is very hard because if you send a friend request to the wrong person then you officially have a predator on you tail.

Of course that isn't common in the slightest but that doesn't effect my feelings.

So for anyone who is looking for a friend just remember this Golden rule that you should always keep in mind, not as a one for all rule but as a guideline:

Hang around people YOUR AGE

It would really make things simpler and safer for everyone, even those who have their age private.

and if your below 13 then you shouldn't be even on any social media in the first place

(sorry for the word dump, i just really wanted to get this off my chest after seeing the same bad stuff happening to minors on the internet over, and over, and over again)
